<p>does anyone remember a sentence completion including ‘caustic’ and ‘tenuous’ ? i think it was about revising an essay … please tell me that was the experimental</p>

<p>@hongkonggirl
I am sure that’s reading experimenal section. I have token the experimental(Venice) for 2 times(MAY and OCT)</p>

<p>The answer is tenuous</p>

<p>Anyone? please reply…</p>

<p>can anyone tell me the question which had options instinctive/deliberate? what were the other options?
secondly…did anyone get events parallel to real life sth
thirdly…what about catalog question?
and what were the options regarding the “anyone” question?</p>

<p>ugh the catalog q was so confusing !</p>

<p>^ what about the rest
i chose various experiences sth i guess?</p>

<p>@ahmehmood</p>

<p>the instinctive/delibrate q is about what the referred bird migration in the last paragraph inply
deliberate action;instinctive ??; fortuitous</p>

<p>anyone put down fortuitous???</p>

<p>oh no …i guess it had sth to do with the wind …i seriously dont remember
what about the other qs i mentioned above</p>

<p>zytczn, ahmehmood</p>

<p>do u guys remember that what is the question ??
But fortuitous is not answer.</p>

<p>This is another passage of auther of passage2 :
Whether the monarch has a map or not has yet to be shown, but what has been shown is that they’re capable of sun-compass orientation and time compensation,” he said.</p>

<p>“We don’t fully understand how monarchs migrate to Mexico, but there’s no question that they have the ability to use this sun compass and circadian clock. There’s no doubt.”</p>

<p>I also read somehow same meaning in last sentece… so i think instinctive but i dont remember the question… whether auther2’s thinking or auther2 disagree with auther1’s thingking butterflise migration as___<strong><em>. or auther2 suggests (not butterfly) migration as</em></strong>_.</p>

<p>Please tell me exact question… I’m very confused</p>

<p>what exactly was the question people…can we have a consensus on it first??</p>

<p>@ bearbox …what did you get for the qs i listed above?</p>

<p>Bearbox.</p>

<p>I remembered the general meaning of the question is that “the author of passage 2 disapproves the characterization of butterflies migration in passage 1 as______”, so I put deliberate action, since author 2 suggests that we cannot attribute migration to “intent”. </p>

<p>This is what I remember though, ^_^</p>

<p>BTW, what is the answer to the question of the identity passages? Did you put “People can shape their identities by themselves” in the last question?</p>

<p>Grandma

  • irony was: suspicion is usually negative
  • euphoria on going home vs never experienced before
  • ailing and frail vs forceful and direct (forceful and direct, cuz aunt is not tall and big he felt her is powerful and her speech is direct)
  • light? trivial vs gentle
  • half hearted humor vs self mocking (self-mocking is correct though i put humor cuz half-hearted , humor is wrong)
  • confrontational relationship
  • transition: general to specific (i dun remember but i agree this… i cant remember the choice exactly general to specific)
  • expecting visibly aging
  • intense pleasure
  • laughter: living thing
    2
    Short pari: identity
  • sense of identity of both authors: conflicted vs integrated(i dun remember exactly)
  • village: stable environment vs cultural vacuum(former is correct cuz vacuum is wrong)
    Italian folklore
  • catalog: vareity expreience of people.</p>

<p>Building

  • which statement would discredit they lived in unsafe flimsy houses in past (strongly agree)
  • estrange from society
  • it comes at too great cost (i dun agree there is not main reason)</p>

<p>Monarch butterfly</p>

<p>WHAT THE… INTERNATIONALS HAVE DIFFERENT SAT??? Is it easier?</p>

<p>@lzhd1028
yes i got it now…actually author of passage 2 asserted that author of passage 1 made the conclusion based on theory rather than empirical evidence and i also read somewhere that scientists made conclusions so that they come in line with the theories (sth in line w. it)…so i put deliberate action too
imnt sure about it though</p>

<p>@bearbox
which statement would discredit they lived in unsafe flimsy houses in past?
are you sure? i think the primary purpose of the passage was about cultures i guess? this is the only question for which i got a different answer from urs</p>

<p>@ahmehmood</p>

<p>the question is that , if true ,can challange to auther</p>

<p>passage says they built house that give people security and healthy.
so i strongly think that unsafe house is ,if true, cha challange to auther.
other choice is not correspond main poin of passage.</p>

<p>^ true that. but i think it was …" which whould discredit the main idea of the passage"
main idea wasnt about the houses i guess?</p>

<p>main idea wasnt about the houses but the question is the if true can chanllange
cuz auther assert that house was built for people health and predict weakness and very good so i put unsafe house.</p>

<p>Yes main idea is presumably not the houses but past building’s valuable thing? and criticize current buildings…</p>

<p>i first confused between past people live unsafe house and market but if ture… so i put former.</p>

<p>The author maintains that good houses shows our respect and awareness of the connectivity of time … blah blah (sorry, i dont remember exactly…). He also claims that our ancestors built houses well. So if people in the past also lived in bad houses then he’s not so right…</p>
